He was a teacher. What can I say, my dad loves to talk and talk and talk. We have a few church elders from the cancer care group that are willing to take him to lunch, etc. We host gaming groups here at the house. He likes that. And yet, he was REALLY looking forward to re-marrying after his wife died a few years ago, before his cancer diagnosis that soon followed :( He is a people person. Any ideas would be great. I see that Medicaid covers in home care for just about everything...but at this stage, he still has some quality of life and just wants to socially "visit" with anyone that will listen- not reciprocal talk necessarily- simply listen about his art project (4 foot diameter globe) that is a memorial tribute to him and his wife. Their ashes will be "mixed together" and fit into the base. He has a ton of good stories and is quite the artisan. My hubby and I work full time and have two active teenagers. :)
Thanks everyone for sharing your questions and stories on this forum.
Peace
If he is well enough to get out in the evening, perhaps he could speak at cub scouts, Cadets, the library etc. Elder College is often looking for speakers too.
